Tom Port uses Townsend Supertweeters on Legacy Focus speakers. He brought over just one and attached it using duct tape at the inside on my right channel Focus speaker at the level of the existing ribbon tweeter. We listened to vinyl and immediately heard the increased airyness of the recordings. The speakers disappeared with the supertweeter (and I have Hallographs behind the speakers in a 25' X 21' X 12' high room with the speakers 6' from walls). If one worked wonders, two should be fantastic. However, the setting was at the low end at 2 (out of 10) because the Focuses are rather efficient at 96 to 98 db/watt. So, this is the first time I've heard a supertweeter blend so well with rolled off speakers (Focuses have a very pleasant rolled off highs, at least the first model from the 1990s did, maybe the new ones have better ribbon tweeters).
Thoughts on adding a Super tweeter .
I have posted something like this before,but thought I may ask for follow up input.
I already have a superb tweeter,ruler flat to 25khz(titanium),yet wonder if something like the Townshend(it starts to come in above 20 khz,and goes out to a zillion khz,almost)or Murata(comes in at 15 khz,Too low?, goes to a trillion,just kidding btw,)would add "real world"enhancements to my existing set-up.I have NO problems,with high freq performance,as of now,yet in this hobby,one can always be surprised.
Any thoughts would be most appreciated!
Best!
